Begum Yigit; Interdisciplinary Interior Designer, MMUP, LEED GA, PMP.

Much like human well-being, the essence of her design is found in balance—between richness and restraint. Guided by evidence based design , the principle becomes simple, practical and authentic. Through exploring correlations between human senses and design, her project spaces are stripped down to their simplest forms to heighten those senses.

Situated in the heart of Doha;  the fastest growing in the construction & design context. Begum, found herself feeling inspired by timeless aesthetics, natural materials, and upholding Modernist principles of refinement.
